Making this card felt very different from me, it’s a sort collage, something I enjoy, but don’t do a lot of on cards. The background is made from cork sheet that gives it a different, rough texture to which I have added a mixture of Tim Holtz paper embellishments, K & Co layered poppies, antique silver and dragon fly brads, clear self adhesive pebbles, and red twine, but I think it all goes together OK (????)

The reason for making this card was a very small thank you in comparison to Lizzie, a follower of more years than I care to remember, who sent me a most beautiful parcel containing a collection of wonderful bits, completely out of the blue.

Inside the parcel were three beautifully wrapped packages full of lovely, lovely things.What can I say?Each package just got more wonderful …….

…… and I was totally, overwhelmed by Lizzie’s kindness, thought and generosity. I love everything ….. I think the most inspiring were the Tim Holtz bottles, as I have a HUGE thing for little bottles, which are already screaming Christmas very loudly at me ……….

Thank you soooooooo much Lizzie, as I said “Thank You” just doesn’t express my feelings, half as much as what it really meant to me!
